Truly fascinating how “Israel/Zionism≠Jews” until synagogues are attacked and then Israel’s actions reflect on all Jews, and obviously synagogues are indoctrinating Jews into Zionism anyway. Really interesting

anon is also…kind of wrong. using the language “fundraising for the IDF” suggests that funds are being sent for military purposes, like weaponry, which is not the case. synagogues might raise funds and donate to organizations like Friends of the IDF and LIBI, but none of these funds go directly to the IDF. they go towards the soldiers, like providing funds to soldiers (especially lone soldiers, who dont have any family in israel to act as a support net), providing education and funding scholarships, offering grief counseling, PTSD, and mental health services to soldiers as well as bereaved family members, and funding construction for housing or gyms on IDF bases.

if someone’s inherently opposed to the state of israel even existing (and, by extension, the IDF serving as a way to defend and maintain that existence) this probably isn’t going to make much of a difference for them, but the presence of cozier lodging on IDF bases, or bereaved parents, siblings, children, and spouses receiving grief counseling is a far cry from “supporting an Israeli death cult full of pedophiles.”

no actually now that i think about it milf-king is right. if only Itay wasn’t able to pursue a degree in Sports Medicine due to a scholarship funded by FIDF and go on to become a physical therapist. he is atlas carrying the existence of israel on his back. if Itay wasn’t out there helping old women learn how to walk again after falling and breaking their hips on the ever-present tiled floors in israeli houses and apartments, israel would have surely ceased to exist yesterday. damn you Itay!!!

Plus, I’m more appalled by the notes of the post being screenshotted. And also how normalised and excusable attacking Jews is right now. Just say the synagogue is “Zionist” and that makes it a legitimate target somehow. What the hell

It’s the same with Bondi. All the victims are “Zionists” because the Rabbi is from Chabbad which is a Zionist organisation.
